Just starting to get a sway back, belly is just starting to sag, and pretty well defined muscle structure. I say 2.5.

These pics were taken two days ago....

I want some more unbiased posts before I post the rack along with it.

I edited my first post before you posted the rack.

He is a minimum of 3.5, could be older but no younger. Just too much body there to be a young deer. The swelledneck will come.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say its a doe and you are playing a very evil trick on us...LOL

I would say a smaller bodied 3.5. I think his neck still has some swelling to do.

I'm going to go 3.5 or 4.5, but no older. He has a decent belly on him and he is started to get back sway. Racks are decieving anyway because he could have very good or poor genetics to throw us off.

I am with the 2.5'ers. Hard to tell, for me, but I based it on his face and body length. Neck "Could" be a GREAT 1.5.....but I wouldn't think a 1.5 would be that long or have a face like that.

Interested to see the rack (however large or small) (I KNOW I've said THAT before)
